Bloodied shooting victim gives most relaxed interview ever

A US shooting victim has given a memorable on-air interview, describing how he was just "kicking back" at home before being shot through his window.

Devon Hawkins had only just been patched up when Fox 2 Now reporter Reyna Harvey asked him outside his Quincy, Illionois home early on Friday morning how the incident happened.

"You know, I’m in the room chillin', kickin' like I usually do, drinking. Then someone shot right through my back window and hit me in the chest. I’m like, 's—t, get my son out of the room'," Mr Hawkins says.

He then lifts his shirt up to show the journalist his wound.

"Do you know why this happened?" Harvey asks.

"I think they want me dead. Or some other stuff. I don’t know," Mr Hawkins replied.
